System description
3.2.9 Stacker
The stacker is located to the far left of the analyzer. It is used for the
storage of reaction modules .there are seven levels in the stacker ,
and holds approximately 110 reaction modules at one time.
Note: MAGLUMI 1000 did not include the Stacker
Loading reaction modules
The loading station for reaction modules is on the left front side of the
analyzer (see Fig. 3.2.9-1).
The reaction modules are placed in and set at right angles to the
transport direction on the stationary conveyor belt. A sensor detects
the presence of reaction modules and immediately moves the belt
to transport the reaction modules into the stacker. As soon as the
conveyor belt stops, the next set of reaction modules may be
loaded.
The stacker stores the reaction modules on seven levels. When one
level is full of 14 reaction modules, the reaction modules are lifted to
the next level.until all 7 levels are full
CAUTION
The stacker should be emptied once a month to ensure
uniform quality of the reaction modules.
